Always appreciate the effort and the objective view of the game, but was confused by a couple of score typos and the duplicate large swath of dialogue. Didn’t really want to re-live the lousy 3rd quarter twice. You must have written this sober. Remind me to send you an extra bottle of gin this Xmas so you have an emergency back-up on hand for national holiday writing when the LC’s are closed!
